A pursuit near Willits ended when the driver crashed into a utility pole and then exited her vehicle and demonstrated yoga poses, the Mendocino County sheriff’s office said.

Thursday’s episode began shortly before 2 p.m. when deputies were dispatched to investigate a repeat sighting of a trespasser in a field two miles east of Willits. This time the woman was reportedly lying face down in the field.

When deputies arrived, they saw a woman in the driver’s seat of a silver Nissan Xterra. They attempted to speak with her, but she drove off, heading south on Eastside Road.

When the driver started crossing the double yellow lines on the two-lane rural road, the deputies turned on their lights and siren. She refused to pull over and continued to drive “with disregard for safety of pedestrians walking near the roadway,” the sheriff’s office said in a press release.

After about 1.5 miles of pursuit, the Xterra veered off the right side of the road near East Hill Road and hit a utility pole, toppling it. The vehicle crashed through a fence and continued 100 yards through a field before coming to a stop.

The driver then exited and “began to engage in what appeared to be ‘yoga’-type poses,” the press release said.

A shooting outside a Laurel District bar in East Oakland early Saturday left one man dead and four other people wounded, culminating a six-hour period of violence that saw another man killed and three other people wounded in separate incidents, authorities said.
